Australians in Europe action this weekend

In England, Brett Emerton and Vince Grellaâ€™s Blackburn hosts Mark Vidukaâ€™s Newcastle on Saturday at Ewood Park whilst Hull City and Richard Garcia face the unenviable task of playing against Arsenal; the match coming from KC Stadium, also on Saturday.

Brad Jones will be fighting for a first team spot with Middlesbrough who are away to West Brom and Lucas Neill will lead West Ham out against Fulham at Upton Park after being linked with a move to Newcastle.

Mile Sterjovski put his case forward for a first team berth under new Derby County boss Nigel Clough by setting up two goals in the reserves midweek; the Rams host Queens Park Rangers in the Championship.
